One day in 1992, we received a letter from a gentleman named Mr. John Balbalis, scientific illustrator for John Wiley and Sons Publishers in New York City. Enclosed in this letter, on yellow lined notepad paper, was a sketch that he made of the Man of the Shroud. The drawing was cleverly constructed freehand of radial lines made by a ballpoint pen. Mr. Balbalis offered his services to TSC as an illustrator for any drawings that we might wish to have made, and said that we could use this particular drawing of the Shroud if we desired.

Approximately two months later, Mr. Balbalis passed away. Although we never met or even spoke with Mr. Balbalis directly, we have proudly adopted his drawing as our official TSC Logo, because we think that it captures something of the majesty of the image on the Shroud.
